🎭 Your Mission
Once you've bought your ticket, you’ll receive your character role in advance. Dressing up is optional - but it’s so much more fun when everyone gets into character!

🕵️ The Plot: “A Talent Show… To Die For”
The contestants of a popular TV reality talent show are left stunned when their top judge, Simeon Lewok, is found dead inside a locked room with the key still on the inside.

Among the suspects:

• Bendy Bess, the contortionist

• Hypno Bob, the hypnotist

• Slinky Selina, the snake charmer
  ...and more colourful characters with talents that may have turned deadly.

As the night unfolds, the spotlight shifts from one contestant to another. Could their extraordinary abilities be the key to the crime - or the perfect murder weapon?

📖 On the evening, you’ll receive a character booklet that acts as a script for you to play your character part. Don't worry, you can act as much or as little as you like, all your words are scripted in the booklet. Everyone is a suspect - and one of you is the murderer. Could it be you?

👮 Hosted by plot-writer Helena Tendall, who will lead the investigation as the police officer determined to crack the case.
